American Majority Action (AMA) has joined numerous other conservative groups in denouncing House Speaker John Boehner for purging four conservative House members from their committees.

However, AMA has taken it a step further. Beyond denouncing the Speaker, AMA’s President and CEO, Ned Ryun, has called for GOP members to fire John Boehner as speaker.

“Speaker Boehner has been an abysmal failure as speaker, and his latest purge is the nail in the coffin for conservatives.” Ryun added, “Boehner has never won a negation battle with the White House or Senate—and he’s been nothing short of an embarrassing spokesman for the Conservative Movement. It’s time for him to go.”

While Ryun writes that this sentiment has been expressed since the purge of conservatives from committees on Monday, yours truly has had that sentiment for a couple of years now.

In speaking the Ron Meyer, Press Secretary and Spokesman for AMA, he told Freedom Outpost that the Twitter hashtag movement began yesterday with the publication of Ned Ryun's article at RedState around 3pm.

The problem is finding someone that is not a part of the current GOP establishment leadership because they have simply gone along with the status quo. Meyer has said that his group likes Ohio Representative Jim Jordan, the outgoing chairman of the conservative Republican Study Committee, as a replacement for Boehner, but "“there aren’t enough votes to elect someone new — yet.” However, he did agree with me that obtaining the necessary 16 abstentions was "doable for sure."

At the time of the press release, #FireBoehner had received over 1,600 tweets. Meyer said that they would look this evening to see where those numbers are, which he expected to grow considerably.

I am not sure as to the direction the GOP is taking actual Conservatives. I had thought 'Right is Right', and 'wrong is wrong'. Maybe my thinking is too simple?(I have to explain Right is not like hob-nail boots and swastikas, I meant right, as in correctness and moral compasses.) I had thought at first, Boehner and the GOP was using some convoluted tactic that was so brilliant that I wouldn't understand the full scope until it was revealed in the end... fooled me!
I think he fooled a lot of people. We must not let this continue. I think we have to remove all the bloated ticks in government. Locally and in Washington, DC.

Abstaining will not work. Please ask your representatives to vote for someone else rather than abstain. House precedent dictates that the only votes counted for the purpose of obtaining a majority vote are votes for a specific person. If 16 abstain, Pelosi or whoever the Democrat choice was would win by default.
